Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a storage magazine for media such as film, etc.

In other words, it relates to a storage magazine that is box-shaped, stores roll media inside, and is equipped with a media pull-out mechanism, so that it is loaded into an exposure device, for example, and the media is pulled out from an exit slot. .

"Conventional technology" Conventionally, this type of magazine has been as follows, for example.

First of all, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-2998 discloses a configuration in which a roll of film is housed in a container, the leading end of the film extends through an exit slot, and is clamped onto a displaceable tongue. It is shown.

That is, from the exit slot of the storage magazine barrel,
A technique is disclosed in which the leading end of a film, which is a media stored inside, is always projected to the outside, and when the film is loaded into an exposure device, the film, which is a media, is pulled out from the projected leading end by a pull-out mechanism. has been done.

Next, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-148432 discloses a guide plate located at the roll paper drawer opening of the roll paper storage body and located in the copy paper path between the roll paper storage body and the paper feed roller. , a mechanism is shown in which the guide plate is opened as the paper feed roller rotates in the paper feeding direction and closed as the paper feed roller rotates in the opposite direction.

That is, a technique has been proposed in which upper and lower guide plates are provided protruding from the outside of a drawer opening, which is an exit slot, in order to protect the leading end of copy paper, which is a medium that is constantly protruded, from above and below.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' By the way, with such conventional storage magazines,
The following problems were pointed out.

First, the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-2998 has the following drawbacks due to the fact that the leading end of the medium always protrudes to the outside as described above.

Firstly, when carrying the media before loading, the leading edge of the protruding media may be damaged or bent due to external force.

It was easily deformed, damaged, etc., and it was also easy for dirt to adhere to it. For example, when the media is loaded into an exposure device, the media cannot be pulled out while maintaining its flatness accurately, and other problems occur on the exposure device side, which has become a problem.

Second, when loading the media, it is not easy to set the leading end of the media in accurate correspondence with the pull-out mechanism on the device side. Therefore, automatic withdrawal operation was considered difficult, and manual operation was required.

Thirdly, the setting of the amount of protrusion of the leading end of the media itself is unclear, making it difficult to handle.

Next, JP-A-51-. The device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 148432 and others has the following drawbacks because the upper and lower guide plates are provided in a protruding manner as described above.

In other words, the protruding guide plate becomes a hindrance to carrying before loading, and an opening/closing mechanism is often provided as an accessory mechanism, making the overall configuration complicated and large. There was a drawback.

In particular, so-called disposable storage magazines, in which all stored media are pulled out and discarded after use, are inconvenient to pack, require transportation and storage space, and are costly. There was a fatal problem on the surface.

In the conventional example, such a point was pointed out.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the conventional example described above. This prevents the leading edge of the media from being scratched or deformed when carried, and when loaded into the device, the media can be pulled out accurately, automatically, and easily. The purpose is to propose a compact media storage magazine.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The technical means of the present invention to achieve this objective are as follows.

This storage magazine has a box shape and rotatably stores roll media therein, is loaded into a device equipped with a media pull-out mechanism, and the media is pulled out from an exit slot.

The outlet slot is provided along the wall surface area, and the outer wall and inner wall forming the outlet slot are opposed to each other at a distance that allows the media to be loosened.

A large portion of this outer wall is formed between both sides along the direction in which the media is pulled out.

This large portion has a width narrower than the width of the media, and is wide enough to allow the pressing drive means of the pull-out mechanism to move in and out.

Also, a portion of the leading end of the media guided by the inner wall through this large portion is always exposed.

"Function" Since the media storage magazine according to the present invention is comprised of such means, it functions as follows.

When the storage magazine is loaded, the pressure drive means of the pull-out mechanism of the apparatus is guided by the inner wall through the top of the outer wall and is pressed against the exposed tip of the media.

Then, the media is pulled out from the tip by driving the pressure contact driving means. In this way, the media can be automatically and easily pulled out.

In addition, at this time, the media is gently sandwiched between the outer and inner walls of the exit slot on both sides and even in the center.
The position is accurately regulated in the drawing direction, and the paper can be drawn out while maintaining its flatness.

Furthermore, the leading edge of the media does not protrude to the outside at any time other than when the media is pulled out.

Therefore, there will be no scratches, bends, deformation, damage, dirt, etc. on the leading edge of the media, and accurate extraction will be performed from this side as well, eliminating other problems on the device side. It turns out. .

Furthermore, they are excellent in shape and can be realized compactly with a simple configuration.

"Example" The present invention will be described in detail below based on the example shown in the drawings.

First, regarding the configuration, etc., an overview of the exposure device, its drawer mechanism, an overview of the storage magazine, its size, etc.

The exit slot will be explained in order of its top.

The outline of the exposure equipment is as follows.

That is, an exposure apparatus, which is an example of an apparatus into which the media storage magazine according to the present invention is loaded, has the following general outline. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of its configuration.

1 is a light-shielded body of the exposure device;
A storage magazine 2, which will be described later, is loaded into the body 1 from the front side to the back side in the drawing, and is removed from the opposite side.

A press-contact drive means 4 of the drawer mechanism 3 is arranged opposite to the storage magazine 2 loaded in this manner.

The photosensitive media M, which is stored in the storage magazine 2 and has a roll shape, is pulled out by the pressure drive of the pressure drive means 4 against the leading end of the media M, and is turned into a sheet and transferred to the inside of the body 1 by the conveyance mechanism 5. It is transported to the other side.

In the illustrated example, the conveyance mechanism 5 includes a drive roller 6, a driven roller 7 disposed opposite to the drive roller 6, a drive drum 8 disposed on the other side downstream of the drive roller 6, and a driven roller 7 disposed opposite to the drive roller 8. It consists of two driven rollers 9 spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Note that the drive roller 6 of the conveyance mechanism 5, its driven roller 7, and the drive drum 8. A cutter device C equipped with an upper blade C1 and a lower blade C2 as movable blades is incorporated between the driven rollers 9, and a guide roller as appropriate.

A guide plate etc. are incorporated.

The sheet-like media M that is sandwiched and transported by these transport mechanisms 5 is cut into a desired length by a cutter device C, and is cut between the driven rollers 9 of the drive drum 8.
The image will be processed. That is, in the illustrated example, the laser beam B from the laser optical system 10 causes
The media M is scanned and exposed to form a latent image.

The media M on which the latent image has been formed is then transferred to the next developing device (
(not shown) or stored in a receive magazine (not shown) in the body 1.

The exposure apparatus is roughly constructed as described above.

Next, the drawer mechanism 3 will be described.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a storage magazine 2 according to the present invention, and an example of a drawer mechanism 3 is also shown in the figure.

This pull-out mechanism 3 is disposed on one side of the body 1 of the exposure apparatus, facing the loaded storage magazine 2. That is, this pull-out mechanism 3 includes a motor 11 fixed to a frame (not shown) in the body 1, and a pulley 13 fixed to a motor shaft 12 of this motor 11, and has a substantially fan-shaped/semi-circular cross section. , a pressure contact driving means 4 consisting of a roller attached to the frame by a shaft 14 rotatable near the center, and a pulley l5 fixed to this shaft 14.
The belt 16 is endlessly stretched between the pulley 15 and the pulley 13.

The pressure contact driving means 4 is disposed so as to be located above and opposite to the leading end m of the media M in the loaded storage magazine 2 that has not yet been pulled out. At all times, except when pulling out the leading end m of the media M, the pressure contact drive means 4 directs its circumferential portion 17 upward and the storage magazine 2. It is in a retracted position with a gap between it and the media M, etc.

When pulling out the media M, the motor 11 operates the pulley 13. Belt 16. The pressure contact driving means 4 is rotated clockwise via the pulley 15 etc., and its circumferential portion 17 is gradually directed downward and pressed against the tip m of the media M, and is further rotationally driven. The leading end m of the media M that has been pressed against the media M is pulled out from the storage magazine 2 and sent to the driving roller 6 and driven roller 7 of the next conveying mechanism 5 (see FIG. 9).

Thereafter, the press-contact drive means 4 is further rotationally driven and rotates once, returns to its original retracted position with the circumferential portion 17 facing upward, and stops. Therefore, the presence of the pressure contact driving means 4 and the like does not interfere with subsequent conveyance of the media M, removal and loading of the storage magazine 2, and the like.

In addition, the drawer mechanism 3. Of course, the pressure contact driving means 4 and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and various other methods may be used. For example, by using a normal circular roller as the pressing drive means 4 of the pull-out mechanism 3 and further adding an elevating mechanism, the circular pressing driving means 4 is normally raised by the elevating mechanism to the retracted position. It may be placed in a position, and only when the leading end m of the media M is to be pulled out, it is lowered by an elevating mechanism to be brought into pressure contact therewith, and then driven to rotate by the motor 11 or the like.

The drawer mechanism 3 is constructed as described above.

Next, an overview of the storage magazine 2 will be described.

As mentioned above, FIG. 1 shows a storage magazine 2 according to the present invention.
FIG. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are an exploded perspective view and an external perspective view.

The storage magazine 2 is, for example, a piece of cardboard.

It is box-shaped, made by folding cardboard, etc., and is sealed and has light-shielding properties. On one side wall 18 of the storage magazine 2, a handle 19 for transportation is bent and protruded outward, and the storage magazine 2 is carried with this one side wall 18 facing upward during transportation. .

The top wall 20, which is the top cover of the storage magazine 2, has the following structure. That is, the top wall 20 is formed by bending the connected upper part of the back wall 21 inward, and the outer wall 2 covers almost the entire top surface.
2, an inner wall 24 that is formed by bending the connecting upper part of the front wall 23 inward, and is located below the end of the outer wall 22 on the front wall 23 side, and bending the connecting upper parts of the side walls 18 inward. The outer wall 22 is formed with ear-shaped both edge walls 25 bonded to both side edges of the outer wall 22 from above.

A sticker S is affixed to the outer surface of one edge wall 25 of the top wall 20, and this sticker S indicates the width of the media M stored in the storage magazine 2, the type of media M such as film or photographic paper, etc. For example, it is displayed in a black and white pattern.

In such a storage magazine 2, a roll-shaped media M is stored.
is rotatably stored. Typical examples of this media M include a roll-shaped photosensitive film, photographic paper, copy paper, etc., and the surface to be imaged is coated with a photosensitive material such as an emulsion, as shown in the figure. The present invention is not limited to the media M for exposure apparatuses, but also various other roll-shaped media M.

Support blocks 26 are fitted into the storage magazine 2 along both side walls 18, and the media M is pivotally supported between the support blocks 26 via studs 27 and the like.

This support block 26 has a flat plate portion 28 facing the side surface of the rolled media M and the side wall 18 of the storage magazine 2.
and an outer peripheral part 2 formed by bending from the peripheral edge of this flat plate part 2.
9.

The storage magazine 2 is roughly configured like this.

Next, the size etc. of the storage magazine 2 will be described.

First, the outer peripheral part 29 of the support block 26 that pivotally supports the media M in the storage magazine 2 is prepared in advance in various widths in response to the existence of roll-shaped media M of various widths. In other words, as for the support block 26, the size of the flat plate part 28 is constant, but the length along the axial direction of the media M, which is the width of the outer peripheral part 29, is
Prepare each insert in advance. Then, it is preferable to select and use a medium with a small thickness depending on the width of the roll-shaped medium M used, that is, the length along the axial direction.

In this way, the storage magazine 2 can select the support block 26 as described above, even if the storage magazine 2 is of a certain size, without preparing media M of various sizes along the width direction of the media M to be stored in advance. By using this, there is an advantage that it can be commonly used for media M of various widths.

As described above, in the storage magazine 2, the size of the media M to be stored along the width direction is usually constant.

On the other hand, the size of the media M stored in the storage magazine 2 along the winding diameter direction is set as follows.

First of all, the storage magazine 2 has a top wall 20° and a rear wall 21. Front wall 23. It is necessary that the bottom wall 30 has a size that does not come into contact with the outer periphery of the stored media M wound into a roll. That is, for this purpose, the outer periphery of the media M at its maximum winding diameter and the top wall 20.
Back wall 21. Bottom wall 30. Ensure that there are gaps a and b between the front wall 23 and the front wall 23.

What is necessary is to form c and d.

Second, regarding the gap c between the rear wall 21 and bottom wall 30 of the storage magazine 2 and the outer periphery of the media M, the following consideration needs to be taken into consideration. That is, although the media M is generally rewound each time it is cut by the cutter device C described above, when the media M with the maximum diameter is rewound at the beginning of use, the amount of rewinding of the media M is A slack part M' (see FIG. 4 described later) is generated in the storage magazine 2, and this slack part M' is caused by the back wall 21 and the bottom wall 3.
It is necessary to have a wider stance to avoid contact with zero. The media M is rewound each time it is used in order to once pull back a certain amount from the outside in preparation for the next use. The amount of slack M' that will be formed further outside the outer periphery of the rolled media M.

Since the direction, shape, etc. are also predetermined, there are gaps.

Based on this, C can be easily set in advance to avoid contact.

Therefore, for example, as shown in the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, if the storage magazine is formed into a rectangular cross section and the media M is stored eccentrically toward the top wall 20 and front wall 23, the required gaps a, b, and c are , d can be ensured reliably and efficiently.

Now, when the necessary gaps a, b, c, and d are secured in this way, the surface of the media M coated with the photosensitive agent will be exposed to each top wall 20. Back wall 21. Bottom wall 30. This will avoid contacting and rubbing against the front wall 23. This has the advantage that defects such as scratches on the surface of the media M can be reliably prevented from occurring, and rewinding can be performed smoothly.

The size etc. of the storage magazine 2 are as follows.

Next, the exit slot 31 will be described.

An exit slot 31 formed in the storage magazine 2 for extracting the stored media M to the outside is located in one of the wall areas of the storage magazine 2, in the illustrated example, the top wall 20.
along the area. The outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 forming the exit slot 31 are opposed to each other at a distance that allows the media M to be pulled out to be loosely held from above and below.

That is, the distance between the facing portions of the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of the media M, so as not to damage the media M that is pulled out. On the other hand, the position of the media M to be pulled out in the pulling direction A is precisely regulated by the pinching by both of them.

In the illustrated example, flocks 32 made of a soft material are further planted on the lower surface of the outer wall 22 facing the inner wall 24 and on the upper surface of the inner wall 24, respectively. The flocked hair 32 is planted by pasting flocked paper provided with the flocked hair 32. This flocked hair 32 firstly protects the media M pulled out from the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 more reliably so that it does not rub against the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 and causes scratches, and secondly,
Light comes out from the outside through the loss slot) 31, and the storage magazine 2
It functions to block light so that it does not enter the inside of the medium M and have an adverse effect on the unused medium M.

The exit slot 31 is not like this.

Next, the main part 33 will be described.

A large portion 33 is formed on the outer wall 22 at a portion between both side portions 34 along the direction A in which the media M is pulled out. In the illustrated example, the large portion 33 is formed by cutting out the outer wall 22 from the front side. The large portion 33 has a width between both side portions 34 that is narrower than the minimum width used by the media M, and is wide enough to allow the pressure drive means 4 such as a roller of the pull-out mechanism 3 to enter and exit.

First, as described above, the media M pulled out to the outside is not inserted between the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 in the exit slot 31 at the location where the large portion 33 is formed in the outer wall 22. However, on both sides 34 of the outer wall 22, it is still ensured that this is done between the opposing inner wall 24.

Second, when loading the storage magazine 2, the large portion 33 has a width and length that allows the pressure drive means 4 to move in and out.

Further, a part of the tip m of the media M, which is guided through the large portion 33 and the flocked hairs 32 on the inner wall 24, is always exposed to the outside.

The main part 33 is like this.

As shown in FIG. 5, the exit slot 31 is connected to the front wall 2.
The outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 forming the outlet slot 31 along three areas, ie, the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 forming the outlet slot 31, may be provided on the front wall 23, and may also be provided on other wall surfaces of the storage magazine 2.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the large portion 33 may also be formed as a rectangular opening instead of forming a notch, and may also be formed in other shapes.

The storage magazine 2 for media M according to the present invention is as described above.

Next, its operation etc. will be explained.

When loading the storage magazine 2, the pressure contact driving means 4, which is a roller of the exposure device's pull-out mechanism 3, is in a retracted position with its circumferential portion 17 facing upward.

When the storage magazine 2 is loaded, the pressure contact drive means 4 of the drawer mechanism 3 of the exposure apparatus is guided by the inner wall 24 through the large portion 33 of the outer wall 22 and is pressed against the tip m of the exposed media M. .

That is, in the illustrated example, the pressure contact driving means 4 is rotationally driven clockwise by the motor 11, and its circumferential portion 17 is gradually directed downward, so that the tip of the media M guided onto the flocked hair 32 of the inner wall 24 It is pressed against part m.

Then, by further rotationally driving the pressure contact driving means 4, the media M pressed at the circumferential portion 17 is moved to the tip end m.
being pulled out from

In this way, the media M can be automatically and easily pulled out. That is, it is extremely easy to set and press the leading ends m of the media M of the two storage magazines to be loaded into the drawer mechanism 3 on the exposure apparatus side.

easily and reliably achieved. Therefore, it is possible to automate the process without manual operation.

Also, when pulling out the media M, the flocking 32 is inserted between the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 of the exit slot 31 on both sides and even in the center.
Since it is gently sandwiched between the two, the position is accurately regulated in the drawing direction A, and it can be drawn out while maintaining its flatness.

That is, the media M is distributed between the outer wall 22 and the inner wall 24 over the entire area upstream of the large portion 33, and in the vicinity of the large portion 33, between the both sides 34 of the outer wall 22 on both sides and the opposing inner wall 24. It's definitely stuck.

Therefore, the media M is accurately regulated in its position in the withdrawal direction A, and is pulled out without shifting from side to side and while reliably maintaining its flatness.

Note that both sides of the tip m of the media M are as described above.
In the vicinity of the large portion 33, it is sandwiched between both side portions 34 of the outer wall 22 on both sides thereof and the inner wall 24.

Then, the leading end m of the media M is immediately and smoothly separated from the pressure contact driving means 4 which is pressed through the large portion 33 therebetween, and is directed to the transport mechanism 5.

At any time other than when the media M is pulled out, the leading end m and the like of the media M do not protrude outside from the storage magazine 2. Therefore, when carrying the media before loading, the leading end m of the media M will not be scratched, bent, deformed, damaged, soiled, etc. due to external force, and the media M can be pulled out accurately from this surface as well. This also prevents various troubles from occurring on the exposure apparatus side.

Furthermore, they have excellent shapes and can be realized compactly with a simple configuration. That is, there are no structural members or the like protruding from the storage magazine 2 to the outside, and the structure is simple and compact.

Now, the leading end m of the media M pulled out from the storage magazine 2 to the outside in this way is transported inside the exposure device by the next transport mechanism 5, and after the media M is cut to a desired length by the cutter device C, Image forming processing will be performed by the laser beam B of the laser optical system 10.

The pressure contact driving means 4 is further rotationally driven to rotate once, and returns to the retracted position in which there is a gap between the circumferential portion 17 and the media M in the upward direction, and then stops.

The above is the explanation of the operation, etc.

In this embodiment, as described above, the media M is rewound every time it is cut by the canter device C, but rewinding is performed only when replacing the media M, that is, the storage magazine 2. It may also be done.

"Other Embodiments" FIGS. 6 and 7 are a longitudinal sectional view and an exploded perspective view showing other embodiments of the storage magazine 2 for media M according to the present invention.

The outer box 36 also includes both side walls 18, a back wall 21, and a bottom wall 30.
A top wall 20 consisting of an outer wall 22 is provided, a part of the top wall 20 is planted with flocks 32, and a large portion 33 and the front of the top wall 20 are open.

Then, the inner box 35 is attached to the outer box 36 so that the outer box 36 is fitted onto the inner box 35.
It is set slightly smaller.

Then, such an inner box 35 and an outer box 36 are formed in advance, and both support blocks 26 for pivotally supporting the media M are inserted into the inner box 35 from the open back side.

Next, the outer box 36 is fitted onto the inner box 35 from the rear side thereof, thereby creating a sealed box shape, thereby completing the storage magazine 2.

The other embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are like this.
